Rob Stark's Fatal Military Mistake | A Game of Thrones Analysis  

Edmure was told to hold riverrun and not to engage

@@theforce5191 yeah, holding a castle involves taking the fight to the enemy when it's strategically relevant, that's a very very general command, and you know the saying, the best way of defense is attack, Edmure saw his choices, and he made what he thought is the best to hold the damn castle, he could have bloody killed Tywin Lannister if he was a little bit more experienced, tactically what he made was the best way of holding the castle

@Al4___ I get you on holding riverun. So what would "don't engage" mean?

The red wedding would have never happend if he sealed the deal with the freys

No, the army of the reach would have broken the siege, and robb would have died along with his army

@@maxtomlinson8134 There would be no siege, Stannis would take the city by storming it

@@robslebowski6776 he won’t be able to storm it

@@maxtomlinson8134 He would be, if Tyrells-Lennisters didn’t arrive. If Robb would not have made the mistake, than Tywin couldn’t move the Lennisters ro KL, the Tyrells attacking Stannis without knowimy about the Wildfire seems unlikely.

Lol that's an excuse. If he really want to, he would have done it

​@@lethanhminh8001exactly man could have sent riders or some shit to do this

Did he expect the tully blood inside him to make edmund aware of his plan or something?

Send a fucking nobleman as a messanger then, it's not that difficult, Robb just expected everyone to know what they had to do

Actually no he didn’t come up with the plan in the Westerlands. This was his intention since he left Riverrun to attack West
